Beaconhouse Gulshan Middle 1 Karachi campus was shortlisted for the initiatives it has taken to foster successful community engagement programmes based on effective communication, community programmes, skills development, social inclusion, diversity, and much more. The announcement for the top 10 nominees for T4 World’s Best School Prizes came from Vikas Pota, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of T4 Education, acknowledging and appreciating the efforts the thousands of hours schools put in for their applications.

The Beaconhouse philosophy aims to enlighten its students with not only curriculum-based education but also inculcate a progressive thought process that brings about a positive change. This has helped guide students and encourage them to help bring about positive outcomes through PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, & Economic) lessons. Following this principle, students of Gulshan Middle I actively worked with different parts of the community to promote eco-friendly and social development projects which resulted in their powerful initiatives being recognised at a global level through T4 World Best School Nomination.
